A cosmetic composition comprising: (a) 2-mercaptonicotinoyl glycine; (b) acyl glycinate surfactant; (c) a salt providing divalent cations having a charge density of about 40 to about 200 C/mmand a water solubility of at least 400 g/L; (d) anionic polymer; (e) glycerin; (f) water; and (g) reducing agent. The cosmetic composition is particularly useful in a method for brightening skin, depigmenting skin, treating hyperpigmentation of skin, treating melasmic skin, or evening skin tone.

Skin brightening compositions with thiopyridinone compound

A cosmetic composition including a water phase, the water phase comprising solubilized 4-hydroxyacetophenone with niacinamide, wherein the weight ratio of niacinamide to 4-hydroxyacetophenone in the water phase is greater than 3.0.

Cosmetic compositions comprising 4-hydroxyacetophenone

A makeup removal composition includes at least one silicone crosspolymer-based emulsifier, at least one polyglyceryl ester with HLB less than 10, at least one branched or linear liquid alkane with carbon chain length of C11 to C20, at least one polar emollient ester with carbon chain length of C12 to C24, water, or water and a water-based hydrating agent or solvent or combination thereof, and, optionally one or more additives.

No-rinse makeup removal composition

A cosmetic composition includes an antimicrobial system that includes an antimicrobial agent comprising 4-hydroxyacetophenone and one or more additional antimicrobial agents comprising piroctone olamine. The antimicrobial system can be used in a cosmetic composition wherein the composition is a makeup removal composition that is one of an O/W emulsion, a W/O emulsion, a micellar water, a makeup removing wipe, or a two-phase (or multi-phase) composition. The antimicrobial system may be free or essentially free of any one or more of parabens, alcohols, formaldehyde, and formaldehyde-derived compounds. In some particular embodiments, the composition is free or essentially free of parabens, formaldehyde, formaldehyde-derived compounds, pentylene glycol, phenoxyethanol, hexylglycerin, ethylhexylglycerin, octylglycerin, benzylglycerin, 3-heptoyl-2,2-propandiol, and 1,2-hexandiol.

Cosmetic compositions comprising an antimicrobial system with reduced eye irritation or discomfort

A composition is provided. The composition is a water-in-oil emulsion comprising an aqueous phase and an oil phase. The aqueous phase comprises water, one or more humectants, one or more preservatives, one or more preservative boosters, one or more stabilizers and/or one or more pH adjusters. The oil phase comprises one or more solvents, one or more emulsifiers, one or more emollients and/or one or more aesthetic modifiers. Methods of preparing the composition and methods of improving the appearance of skin are also provided.

Cosmetic compositions

A system and method is provided for providing a cosmetic composition to a user. The system includes an apparatus configured to dispense at least one cosmetic composition into a output container; a user interface configured to receive information about the user; and circuitry configured to receive the information about the user and determine one or more cosmetic compositions to be dispensed into the output container based on the information about the user received at the user interface.

System for determining, dispensing, and mixing blended composition for skin treatment

Makeup removal compositions include at least one branched, alkylated alcohol ester; one or a combination of dialkylated ether and dialkylated carbonate; at least one nonionic surfactant; and at least one vegetable derived oil, wherein the composition is essentially free of water. Articles include the composition infused in a water-insoluble or water-soluble substrate.

Anhydrous compositions and articles for makeup removal

The disclosure relates to an aqueous cosmetic composition that includes at least one effect pigment is present up to about 0.02 wt %, an emulsion of at least one oil and at least one surfactant, and at least one active selected to provide one or more benefits, including, but not limited to brightening/whitening, improvement of skin tone, blemish control or reduction, reduction of redness, anti-aging, and hydration, in an aqueous solvent. The composition may include a thickener and a preservative. Methods include forming the composition and applying the composition to the skin to provide an instant 'glowing' or 'brightening' effect.

Water-based cosmetic composition comprising an effect pigment and a cosmetic active

An apparatus is provided for dispensing a cosmetic composition, including: a cartridge holder configured to hold at least one cartridge that stores a cosmetic composition, the cartridge holder being configured to move the cartridge to a predetermined location; a container receiving area configured to hold a output container beneath the predetermined location; circuitry configured to determine the cosmetic composition in the cartridge holder, control the cartridge holder to move the cartridge holder to the predetermined location based on the determination, and control the cartridge to dispense the cosmetic composition into the output container; and a mixer configured to hold the output container and subject the output container to a predetermined movement to cause contents of the output container to mix together.

Apparatus for dispensing and mixing blended composition for skin treatment

A mixer is provided for mixing a substance in a container. The mixer includes a motor; a frame configured to be controlled by the motor to rotate on an axis; a carrier disposed at a first end of the frame and configured to hold the container; a counterweight disposed at a second end of the frame opposite to the carrier, wherein the counterweight position relative to the axis is adjustable. The mixer may be a stand-alone unit, or it may be disposed in an apparatus for dispensing a cosmetic composition.

Apparatus mixing blended composition for skin treatment

The invention relates to systems and methods for improving the appearance of the skin. The systems comprise 1) a skin-tightening composition comprising (a) at least one film former; (b) at least one polyvalent silicate thickener; (c) at least one anionic associative polymeric thickener; (d) at least one plasticizer; and (e) optionally, at least one cosmetic powder, and 2) a long-wear cosmetic composition comprising at least one silicone-polyamide copolymer, at least one silicone film former, and at least one volatile oil. Methods comprise applying the compositions of the systems on to the skin sequentially after a drying period.

Systems and methods for improving the appearance of the skin

The present disclosure relates to cosmetic compositions that provide immediate skin-tightening and long-lasting improvements to the skin for the treatment of, for example, eye bags, facial wrinkles, and other age-related skin imperfections. The compositions comprise: (a) a first film former potassium silicate; (b) at least one second film former; (c) at least one polyvalent silicate thickener; (d) at least one anionic associative polymeric thickener; (e) at least one plasticizer; and (f) optionally at least one cosmetic powder.
